MAKING WAR ON MOONSHINERS.

STILLS OPERATED UNDERGROUND
ATLANTA, GA, December IL
The largest seizures of illicit distlll-
cries ever MAIDEN Georgia occurred
Sunday. Last Saturday Deputies
Alexander and Stevens visited "A
place near Jasper and secreted
themselves IN the woods until short
" before daybreak, when they saw
several men go down into a hole IN
the middle of a plantation. The OIL
GERS followed and came upona gang
OF moonshners in the act OF dlstlll-
ing whiskey. The still was running
in a hole some of thirty feet square.
Water was conveyed distance of
200 hundred yards in logs followed
out. There we're four sills wlthll
a radius of a mile, all operated I'M
dergrOund in the same way Iuo
Pettitt Bros, and Moss and Tan
ner, all notorious monshlners were
the owners of the still. They and
the men who were working for them
escaped. These stills have been
running five years and the deputies
calculate that IN that time they
must have made at least 10000 gal
Ions of whlskey. Over 1000 gal
Ions of beer was captured. Only a
small quantity of whiskey was got
owing to the fact that several hun
dred gallons had been taken away
the day before. 1t is believed that
most of the whiskey made in these
illicit distilleries found it's way into
Atlanta. Collector Crenshaw says
that never before since the revenue
service was established has so ex-
tensive a seizure been made.

ing else that is spiritual, believe
the Bible all through without
this they would not confess, say
they, even that there was a God"
Not to have read the Bible is
not to have read the book OF all
the books in the world best worth
reading. To read it as it deserves
to be read-even cOnceding its hu-
man origin-is a liberal education.
No ore can be unlearned who has
learned what this book has TO
teach. Read the Bible, then; it
You cannot read 1t as "the Word OF
God,p read it for what it surely is
the highest and nOblest word Of
man. In it human nature rises
nearest Divine nature; in it NOR
tallty comes nearest the Divine
nature; in it mortality comes
nearest the putting on OF immo.-
tality. Or II You care only for
meaner merits, where will You find
such poetry as Isaiah or Job,
which Froude, a skept'c, says, "wlll
one day, perhaps, be seen towering
up alone far away above the poetry
of the world Where will you
find such prose as in some of the
Epistles of Paul, such sOdl'stlrring
philosophy as In the sermon on the
mount, the parallels of the good
Samaritan and the prodlgal son
such theology as the conversation
with the women Of Samaria; F.; such
su5limity of pathos as in the pas
sion, trial, and crucifxion OF Jesus

AN AWFUL PUNISHMENT.
LAWLESS NEGROES HANGED on
A TREE AND SLOWLY ROASTED
TO DEATH.

LAWLEsS NEGROES HANGED ON
ATREE AND SLOWLY ROASTED
TO DEATH.
JACKSONVILLE, Dec, lit is
reported from Pemberton Ferry,
Fla, that three negroes on Sunday
sbocklngly assaulted Mrs. d. j..
O'Berry and her daughter, having
gained admittance to the house by
civilly asking for drink. AS soon
as the assailants left the women
gave the alarm and bands were
organized at once to scOur the
woods. Two of the negroes were
caught the next forenoon some
miles distant IN swamp. They
were swung up and choked until
they confessed to the deed. The
enraged men then built a fire under
a projecting limb from a big oak,
aud applying a match, swung the
negroes up over it despite their
agonizing screams and entreaties.
AS the flames leaned the writhing
of the negroes were horrible and
several men, unable to stand it
longer, discharged vOlley into
the swinging figures before them,
killing them instantly. The fire
was extinguished and the bodies
were left swinging, a ghastly warn
ing to other lawless negroes. II
the other one is caught he will
probably be served likewise.

An Invention and lis Results.

The Kentucky invention Tor
keeping bed.covers on has no
doubt had much to do with the
great increase in the number of
marriages this fall. The certainty
that the comforts cannot be kicked
off on a cold winter night by either
partner in the matrimonial concern,
has unquestIonably had its infu-
ence upon cautious manageable
persons. Many cases of cold feet
which in some States are consider
ed grounds for divorce, are often
brought about by the displacement
of bed.covers.-LOuiSriiIe Courier

LET HER EAT,

lie was courting a mission girl
and had been invited to dine with
the family on Sunday, says the
San Francisco Post. He noticed
that his adored one did not eat
much, and remarked to her that
her appetite was light.
80, yes, Mr.. Yardcash," replied
the fair one, 81 am not a large eat
er. Ma says l cost less to keep
than any of her children"
"You'd oughter seen her stuffin'
down pie and cheese afore dinner"
said her younger brother. "She's
giving you guff."
The lady of the house arose in
her place, and, looking the young
man full in the eyes, said firmly
"Mr. Yardcash, my daughter told
you the truth. She is not a large
eater. Her brother, John Henry,
has been reading the funny papers,
and thought he would try a joke on
us. His father will have the kind
ness to attend to him upstairs. Ny
son must not grow up to be a liar"
"Why. ma" calculated John Hen.
ry, "didn't hear you tell Tillie to
eat a good lunch and not give her
appetite away before her young
men?p
"No, my son, you did not"
Five seconds later boyish screams
were heard from an upper room.
"Ma,7 said TiIlie, suddenly, "it's
a shame to whip that boy. He told
the truth, and l won't see him
whipped for all the dry goods
clerks on Kearney street. That |
WON'T" and she fOunced from the
room, while Mr.. Yardcash remark
ed to her mother: ats a bad poll
cy for a mother to meddle with her
daughters affairs. If you think
want a slim wasted, consumptiye
faced wife, you are away of. Let
her eat"
